Sorry, Dave.  Now I see that your "former vette, (the '93) was Ruby red.  I assume then that your '71 is MMR like mine.  Thumbs Up

I have done the power to manual several times and the change has always worked well.  My guess is that one set of manual cranks and handles is less than one electric motor.  My choice is always the manual ones because they have no electric gremlins and they always work.  My recommendation is to keep the manual windows because your car is not wired for the electric ones.  My 2 cents.

Thamks for all the 2-cents. At this time I am going to remain manual. I have enough things to put together for now.
 
Thanks all, Dave
